Van Orley was born in Brussels in 1590 and learnt the art of painting from Antonie Drua in Mechelen around 1612.[1] Maria de Taye, abbess of Forest Abbey outside Brussels, commissioned paintings from him for the abbey church.[2] A number of his portraits were engraved by Richard Collin and were reproduced in Jean François Foppens, Bibliotheca belgica (2 vols., Brussels, 1739).[3]
